- IMPORTANT: The name of the DLL and Serialization namespace has changed
- CLARIONLibrary to ClarionLibrary
- Note: definite implications for simulations using 6.1.0.7
- Make sure you update the DLL reference in your projects!
- Fully implemented NACS reasoning and retrieval
- Now interacts with the ACS and MCS modules
- Added InputFilterer and KnowledgeFilterer delegates
- Can be specified in the ActionCenteredSubsystem to do custom filtering to & from the NACS
- Episodic memory and offline ACS/NACS learning currently in development (slated for the next release)
- Core improvements
- Refactored event timing and truly asynchronous event invocation
- Threads now only start when needed (improved performance & memory)
- Improved how SensoryInformation is propagated and updated
- Added/moved several (inner) “tuple” classes to Clarion.Framework.Core
- Added various core “tracking” classes (e.g., a reasoning tracker for the NACS)
- Added several new interfaces and delegates
- Added new concept MetaInfoReservations
- Replaces things like TypicalIO in Drive
- New formatting for accessing this meta information in the SensoryInformation object
- Note: possible implications for simulations using 6.1.0.7
- Redesigned Chunk class(es)
- Chunk weight and strength calculation methods relocated
- Custom delegate options for both methods
- Added dimension weight specifications
- Implements bottom-up “weight matrix” concept (from CLARION‐H addendum)
- Allows for “dimension NOT activated” specification
- Replaces dvRepDimension specification in the New...Chunk methods in World
- Note: possible implications for simulations using 6.1.0.7
- New ConditionalChunk class
- Replaces inner Rule.Condition class
- New CustomMetaCognitiveActionChunk class
- Input
and Output layers in implicit components (e.g., BPNetwork) are now
specified by InputOutputLayer instead of ActivationCollection
- Feature Enhancements
- Added
“switch” (i.e., PERFORM_LEARNING parameter) to turn on/off ALL learning
in ActionCenteredSubsystem and MetaCognitiveModule
- New LOCAL_EPISODIC_MEMORY_RETENTION_THESHOLD in ActionCenteredSubsystem
- Now only retains previous 10 episodes in local memory (by default)
- Allows for better memory management
- Added time stamps to trace logging
- Added variability options to perception and actuation response times (credit Emily O’Leary)
- New parameters/delegates in Agent to facilitate this feature
- Added
optional out parameter to GetChosenExternalAction (and asynchronous
method) to return the activations for all actions that were considered
during action decision‐making (credit Shane Bretz)
- Various improvements/simplifications in MetaCognitiveModule
- Added OperationOptions and OutcomeActivationOptions
- Added OnTimedEvent method
- Changed Deserialize methods in SerializationPlugin to use the out parameter concept
(instead of returning the object)
- Allows for a cleaner serialization code
- Note: possible implications for simulations using 6.1.0.7
- Miscellaneous fixes and additions in various extension classes (i.e., in Clarion.Framework.Extensions)
- Moved Set/RemoveRelevance methods from GoalSelectionEquation to GoalSelectionModule
- Note: possible implications for simulations using 6.1.0.7
- Added GoalSelectionModuleParameters
- Tutorials and documentation have been added to and updated
- Added Tutorial Table of Contents
- Gives general ordering to tutorials, plus makes it easier to determine where specific topics are located
- Still incomplete (slated for the next release)
- New Samples
- Inductive Reasoning (credit Dan Cannon)
- Full Reasoner (credit Shane Bretz)
- Many bug fixes!!!
